Well, this is a very special customer, so indeed I have many more=20
problems at hand.
But finally everything works as expected by the customer. With the use=20
of printer-specific CSS and some object-orientation pyrotechnics, I can=20
produce quite acceptable printer output.
Thank you all.
Next time I'll use datavision.

Well, this is a very special
customer, so indeed I have many more problems at hand.

But finally everything works as expected by the customer. With the use
of printer-specific CSS and some object-orientation pyrotechnics, I can
produce quite acceptable printer output.

hmm an underpowered pc, well that's an unfortunate new variable to add
to the discussion. If it's really an underpowered server then you have
more problems on your hand then just getting something like tomcat
running. I've run web servers on underpowered machines in the past and
its no fun so I feel for you. As for getting this thread onto one of
the wiki's, that's an interesting thought. I'll have to think about
how it could be done so that someone could get some use out of it
outside of the context of all the threads. I wish you luck. Let us
know how you finally do solve the issue
Jose

I'm still working on this, but I don't think I can install tomcat in this old underpowered customer's PC.
Nevertheless, thank you very much for the tip. I think it'll be useful not only for me, but for anyone doing reporting in web apps.
BTW, I think it could be useful to copy this thread to the Wiki or other more persistant organized place. Any ideas?

Pagination is always going to be a problem with webpages, so far
browsers really don't make inserting page breaks an easy task. If what
you want is a Crystal Reports like product why not use datavision
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/datavision) its free and works ok.

Hi All,
I have a small webware application in which I need to produce reports to be printed. Right now, html reports produce poor results (pagination is not constant).
I bigger companies, we use Crystal Reports, but this is a small non-for-profit organization, so we can't afford commercial software.
What are you guys using?
I was checking out reportlab, but it seems a lot of work, and I couldn't find tables support.
Best regards,
Ed.
